OncEme I knew a pretty girl
I lAmoved her as my life
I'd glEmadly give my hGeart and hand
To mH7ake her my wife
EmOoh, to mH7ake her my wEmife
ShEme took me by the hand
AmShe led me to the door
She pEmut her arms arGound me
Saying, PlH7ease don't come no more
EmOoh, PlH7ease, come no mEmore
Well, I'd not been gone
But about six months
When she did complain
And she wrote me a letter
Saying,please come back again.
Ooh, Please, come again
So I sent her an answer
Just for to let her know
That no young man should venture
Where once he could not go
Ooh, Where once he could not go.
So come all you young lovers
Take a warning from me
And never hang your affections
On a green, growing tree
Ooh, on a green, growing tree
For the leaves they will wither
Roots will decay
And the beauty of a young girl
Will soon fade away
Ooh, will soon fade away
